I had never been in any kind of sports or been in a gym until age 63 and that
0:11
was from watching my daughter Jessie Graff on American Ninja Warrior. I wanted
0:15
to get stronger and I went into a personal trainer and I said I want to be
0:20
able to do five pull-ups that's my goal and it took an entire year to get one
0:25
pull-up because you have to develop the shoulders the back the chest and
0:30
everything you can't just work on pull-ups every day so it took an entire
0:36
year and took even longer than that to get to my second pull-up
0:48
So training these days I am an avid swimmer so I swim three times a week and
0:55
I I compete nationally as well in the senior games and I also go to a
1:04
personal trainer three times a week as well because that keeps me getting stronger
1:25
You know I never thought that you could get stronger as you aged I thought maybe
1:35
you could maintain your muscles but you can actually at all ages get stronger

and it's so important
